' IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,628, dated October 9, 1866.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN IV. FORSYTH, of Leesburg, Loudoun county, and State of Virginia, have invented a new and Improved Churn; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, as follows, viz:

F is a platform, of sufiicient dimensions to suit the size of the machinery to be constructed thereon. On this platform F are two upright posts, E E, connected at their upper ends by a cross-piece, G. Between the posts described, situated vertically, is a large cogwheel, A, through which passes a shaft, S, the journals of which work in the bearings H H, fixed in the upright posts. To the end K of this shaft is fixed a crank, orits equivalent, to I at N, is attached a vertical shaft, 0, by means of a pin.

This shaft is also connected with the dashershaft O of an ordinary churndasher at the joint J.

The vessel in which is held the cream for churning may be an ordinary or upright conical shaped churn, (denoted by M,) to the dasher of which may be readily attached or detached the machinery already described.

The lid L of the vessel M is held in its place by means of hooks to a, attached to the sides of the vessel, and grasping into staples xxx, fixed in the lid.

Attached to the bottom of the vessel M are strips D D D, of iron or other suitable material, which are slotted to admit staples h h h, in which are inverted hooks t t t, holding securely the vessel While the operation of churning is in progress.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the platform F with the posts E E, their connecting cross-piece G, wheel A, pinion B, fly-wheel I, pin N, shafts O and O, the vessel M, the hooks a to, securing the lid L, the slotted strips D D D, the hooks t t t, the staples h h h, as is described, and for the purpose set forth.

JOHN WV. FORSYTH.
